numbering scheme in ordered lists

[SKTodd]

How do I set up an ordered list with decimal points in the numbers? The numbering scheme I have to use is in the format: 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.2, 1.2.1, 1.2.2 .....

What about using a definition list?

<dl>
  <dt>1.1.1</dt>
  <dd>First Section</dd>

  <dt>1.1.2</dt>
  <dd>Second Section</dd>

  <dt>1.2.1</dt>
  <dd>Another Section</dd>
</dl>

As far as I know you can't do what you're asking using an ordered list.

Thanks for the tip Kevin. I think I am just going to have to hard code the numbers to get the layout I need.

Hi SKTodd

Whilst not providing the <b>exact</b> layout of 1.1.2 the following nested <ol>'s work quite nicely

<ol>
<li>First Section</li>
<ol>
<li>First first</li>
<ol>
<li>First first first</li>
<li>First first second</li>
<li>First First Third</li>
</ol>
<li>First Second</li>
<li>First third</li>
</ol>
<li>Second Section</li>
<li>Another Section</li>
</ol>

The nesting works fine but I still need the original numbering scheme to appear:
1 First section
1.1 First sub-section
1.1.1 First item
1.1.2 Second item
1.2 Second sub-section

Thanks for the help Nigel.
